Norwalk, Elect a Leader Who Knows You
As a 26-year resident, retired teacher, and four-time elected Common Council member, I’m stepping up to serve as your Mayor.
I’m committed to building on our progress, ensuring a vibrant, affordable, and equitable future for every resident.
Proven experience, dedicated service, real results
I’ve dedicated my life to this city, raising my family here and fighting for our schools, fair taxes, and sustainable growth. I’m your neighbor, a former public school teacher, a mother, and a grandmother who understands the heart of Norwalk.
From leading on the Common Council to shaping young minds in our classrooms, I’ve demonstrated a commitment to collaboration and progress. I’ve worked tirelessly to fund our schools, champion green initiatives, and improve our quality of life. Backed by endorsements from leadership throughout our city, I’m ready to lead Norwalk with integrity and vision. Let’s work together to build a city we’re all proud to call home.
